Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar criticized the "star culture" in Indian cricket following the 1-3 Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss to Australia. Gavaskar urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to enforce strict accountability, emphasizing that players must prioritize Indian cricket over personal agendas. He highlighted the team's failure to qualify for the World Test Championship final, calling it a missed opportunity. Gavaskar stressed, “Indian cricket comes first. Full commitment is non-negotiable.” The series loss, marked by senior players’ underperformance, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has reignited calls for reforms in Indian cricket.
